I encourage you all to go see the videos and 'like' those that impress you. Some of them are nothing short of world class productions.
The official judging will now start.
IMPORTANT: The process for selecting the winner has been modified. I have decided to remove myself from the judging process in order to maintain total impartiality.
3 judges will deliberate on the above short list. These judges are:
Max Seigal (USA): National Geographic photographer and long time supporter and contributor at AES
Ronny Brouwers (Netherlands): CEO of DroneHeroes, supporter and contributor at AES
Cricri Kreolyab (Reunion Island): CEO of LiveClik, supporter and contributor at AES.
The judges will deliberate for about 10 days and a winner will be communicated as we get close to Christmas. They will be judging not only on the beauty of the footage, but looking at the overall production, which covers the quality of footage, artistry, editing, grading, etc. The winning production must serve as a source of inspiration for all drone enthusiasts.
The winner will have the choice to receive the DJI Mavic Pro or a wire transfer of USD $999.
The winning video will be featured on our landing page as our first ever "Video of the month".
For all those who will not have been selected, we wish to thank you for your contribution. Your videos will remain on the site and available for customers to purchase.
As always, if you would like to communicate with me, please do not hesitate to add me to your friend list. It's always a pleasure to connect with fellow aerial enthusiasts.
